ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) is one of the most widely used thermoplastics in the CNC machining industry due to its heat resistance, durability, and ease of machining. At MyT Machining, we offer expert CNC machining of ABS plastic for both prototyping and full-scale production runs.
Whether you need ABS sheet CNC machining, ABS rod CNC machining, or custom components, we deliver tight tolerances and an exceptional finish.
Why Choose CNC Machined ABS Parts?
ABS CNC machining is perfect for clients looking for strong yet lightweight components. It exhibits excellent mechanical properties, making it ideal for automotive, electronics, and consumer product applications.
Key Benefits of Machining ABS Plastic:
- Major impact strength
- Decent dimensional stability
- Excellent machinability
- Cheap and highly effective
- Resistance to heat and toughness
- Well-suited to prototype and finished goods.
Whether you’re comparing ABS vs polycarbonate machining or selecting materials for tight tolerance parts, ABS offers a fantastic balance between strength and workability.
CNC Machining ABS with Tight Tolerances
MyT Machining will have your parts meet the most stringent specifications. ABS tolerances in CNC machining are typically ±0.005″, and we can meet tighter tolerances based on your project specifications. We Machine ABS For:
- Electrical enclosures
- Auto dashboards
- Medical device parts
- Consumer electronics cases
- Structural prototypes
High-Temp ABS CNC Machining
We specialize in high-temp ABS CNC machining for applications requiring greater heat resistance. If your project demands thermal durability alongside strength and stability, high-temperature ABS is the material of choice.
ABS Sheet & Rod CNC Machining Capabilities
At MyT Machining, we cater to:
ABS Sheet CNC Machining
- Thicknesses: 0.125 inch to 2 inches
- Standard custom cut sizes offered
- Perfect with panels and covers
ABS Rod CNC Machining
- Diameters: 4 in. to 0.25 in.
- Ideal on the turned parts
- robust, machinable, and versatile
We machine both extruded and cast ABS to match the specific demands of your design.
ABS vs Polycarbonate Machining: Which is Better?
While both materials are durable, ABS is easier to machine and more cost-effective. Polycarbonate can be more abrasive on tools and more expensive, but it is stronger and more resistant to heat. When choosing between ABS vs polycarbonate machining, consider:
Feature | ABS | Polycarbonate |
| Machinability | Excellent | Moderate |
| Cost | Lower | Higher |
| Heat Resistance | Good | Excellent |
| Impact Strength | High | Higher |
| CNC Precision | Excellent | Excellent |
